That is probably not what I said. Thankfully I'm not going alone; I'll be with an entire college class. I've never been outside of the U.S, so I'm really excited. My high school German was absolutely useless. In four years, I never learned half as much as I did in a semester of college.

Yeah, after reading it 3 times, i finally found out what it meant ! , and i think you didn't make any mistakes (though i'm not the one who should tell you that). I had terrible high school teachers : one of them did a nervous breakdown, the other was a German cliché (big blond girl, constantly talking about the beer festival and yelling at us with her deep voice, with an accent..., good times). I finally decided to stop learning German, and college will be dedicated to English for me.
Oh, and, when you live in the U.S, why would you need to go anywhere else?
